What we’re about
Hi everyone!
Welcome to Dublin Independent Movie Lovers. This is a group for everyone who loves independent and art-house cinema. We will be organising regular meetups so that members can go see films together, with the opportunity for some discussion afterwards over a coffee or drink (and maybe even some food!). Most events will take place in the IFI, Light House Cinema or Cineworld, with some events being hosted in other venues. A special effort will be made to arrange meetups during the film festivals that take place in Dublin during the year, including Dublin International Film Festival in February/March and the Arabic and French Film Festivals in the IFI in November.
Looking forward to meeting you at the cinema!
Sean.

The Shrouds
The Shrouds, a typically remote, intellectually rich affair, where provocative ideas are presented sincerely, is notable for being David Cronenberg’s saddest film; steeped in grief, the loss of the director’s wife in 2017 is present throughout this singular work. Vincent Cassel, deliberately styled as a Cronenberg surrogate, plays Karsh, a tech entrepreneur still grieving the death of his wife Becca (Diane Kruger), who has invented a system allowing mourners to monitor the decomposition of their loved ones via headstone screens. But when his wife’s plot is among several desecrated in an act of vandalism, Karsh starts to believe he is the focus of a conspiracy involving Becca’s twin sister, Terry (also Kruger), her ex-husband Maury (Guy Pearce), and Soo-Min (Sandrine Holt), the enigmatic wife of a dying Hungarian tycoon who wants to open one of Karsh’s cemeteries in Budapest.
Director: David Cronenberg
